@retneysholocron They love their personal vision for Star Wars more than the franchise reality. It's why nothing will ever satisfy them. It certainly helps explain the love for AI Star Wars slop.

@kupoccino I think the idea of not having an in depth explanation of everything may be an issue of desiring validation for various theories.

I feel like the protagonist should have been a boy and not a girl.
It would still get compared to Owl House either way, but I feel like a story about a mother and a son are sorely lacking, especially from the House of Mouse.

First trailer for Disney's new animated film ‘HEXED’.

The film follows a girl who discovers her magical abilities & sets out on an adventure into a magical realm.

In theaters on November 25.

@MLB_Hannah Add high school students to that. They sneeze into their hands and wipe it on the desk. I've seen this happen in three of my six preps.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

It's honestly just plain tragic how many kids are being priced out of having a simple hobby like baseball, karate, soccer, or basketball.

During student teaching, my mentor teacher called today's youth sports "Tiger parenting - American Edition." He wasn't wrong. Instead of test scores, it's about being recognized at games for the slight hopes of getting a scholarship because college is insanely expensive.

The vast majority of travel sports parents I've met treat it like they got drafted into the military against their will

"Yes, it's awful," everyone seems to agree, "but what choice is there?"

@radfemma It's crept up to high school. I should know. I teach biology and the first time several kids see accountability is in my class.

Pre-COVID I remember my classmates writing fanfics during downtime.
As a teacher, I've seen more students chat with AI.
This shit ain't right.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al.

Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

I hate this anti-boredom movement. There are things that are boring in this world like cleaning bathrooms and doing taxes. Sure, things shouldn't be all boring all the time, but a tolerance for boredom is a skill just like fine motor skills.

Flannery O'Connor on the teaching of literature in school:
"And if the student finds that this is not to his taste? Well, that is regrettable. Most regrettable. His taste should not be consulted; it is being formed."

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

@inkfycreates I feel like a ton of the developmental issues stem from overcorrecting from the authoritarian parents. The problem is that boundaries have expanded to nonexistence and I get HS bio students who act like they've never been corrected ever.

I hope she's in a better place.
It's terrible that success brings out the worst in those you love.

[Manga Mogura RE (Anime & Manga News) @MangaMoguraRE]

"Cells at Work!" creator Akane Shimizu revealed that she struggled with several traumatic experiences while working on the manga.

She was diagnosed with depression, hair-pulling disorder and later PTSD. She also revealed that she was a victim of financial exploitation and sexual victimization by relatives and on top of that experienced secondary victimization by her family. She had to cut ties with her younger sister who had inspired her writing.

These incidents remain major wounds for her to this day.

@MarvelTeacher2 My problem is that we're expected to differentiate without support as a cure all for this issue. Imagine teaching protein synthesis to someone who reads at a 3rd grade level and only shows up on alternate Tuesdays.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

I wasn't expecting an Omori meme from the math meme account.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

@CorralSummer Madoka would like to disagree (and to some extent Iroha, Ui, and Kyubey)

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

@marukrawler So Seven is just Skeptic from MHA

The idea that kids need to enjoy everything they do really needs to die. Kids should be able to do things that are boring, annoying, repetitive, and exciting. An inability to cope with boring/hard is how we get a literacy crisis.

[Kevin McLeod @bannon1975]

A child does not need to love every book they read.
Adults don't love every book they read.
The expectation that every reading experience should be transformative is part of what makes reluctant readers feel like they're failing.
Some books are fine.
Some books are forgettable.
One book, eventually, is the one that changes everything.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

Especially when parents enable the kid.
I've had it with the parents bailing out their children. These are the same kids who don't show up to school, cut class when they can, turn in no work, and somehow the teachers are at fault for the kids' failures.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

A great school can overcome a lot.

But it can’t overcome terrible parenting.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

@venuslandingao3 I thought that's what the summary was for, to judge whether you want to read it.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

@olivesnbapples It's literally my problem with adding a ton of lore to horror films. The more you explain, the less freaky it is.
Unless you explain a ton upfront in order to lure the audience into a false sense of security and then pull the rug from out of the audience.

[Cyril and Rowan @CyrilandRowan]

This movie honestly reminded me of the time I walked through an abandoned school. The empty spaces and blank walls were creepy enough.
Then the paranoia sets in.
Kudos for bringing that feeling to the big screen.
